Before using the device for the first time or when the battery
has been unused for an extended period, you must charge
the battery. Charge the battery only with a charger. You
cannot charge the battery with a USB cable.
You cannot replace the battery in the device. If you have
problems with the battery or need it replaced, take the device
to a Samsung Service Centre.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.
Unapproved chargers or cables may cause batteries to
explode or damage your device.
●
When your battery is low, the device will emit a
warning tone and show a low battery message.
Recharge your battery to continue using your device.

3
cable from the device, and then unplug the USB power
adapter from the electrical socket.

not in use. The USB power adapter does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the USB power
adapter from the electrical socket when not in use to
avoid wasting power. The device should remain close to
the electrical socket while charging.
